Re: Applicard CP/M partition on CFFA3000?

Has anyone had any success setting up a CP/M partition on the new
CFFA3000 for the Applicard?  I've been attempting to use the PCPIPro
and ProPart tools provided by Steve but no success so far.  Here's
what I'm seeing:

PCPIPro method (from PCPIPro.txt):
- Everything successful up to -FBOOT then when the system reads in the
drivers from the recently created boot diskette, the pdoshd driver
errors on loading and is not able to detect a CP/M hard disk
partition.

ProPart:
- Thought perhaps I first needed to use ProPart first to create a CP/M
partition
- Run pro/part.com, run through menu settings, then program hangs when
attempting to write the data blocks to a ProDOS partition not he
CFFA3000.
How are you configuring the CFFA3000? Are you starting with a ProDOS or Pascal disk image, and mounting that as a SmartPort drive? What slot is the CFFA3000 in?
It seems like you should be able to start with a hard drive image that is already prepared for the Applicard and just mount and use that.
